Thread: leaks and stuff n fluff

The gpm was 2x the amount as it should have been. When I dug up the 1 head that was inside the bark there was 4" of standing water everywhere. I almost passed this issue by myself.. But I was curious why the zone just didn't look the same compared to the others with the near same design.

I think the first repair could've been done with less time and material, if sch 80 unions were at hand, but then you are making less money, so forget I said anything

Was the Toro valve cracked, or just the fitting threaded into it?

It was the cracked toro valve.

I gave her the option if just quickly putting in a new valve or replumbing this horrendous thing with new valves . I was pushing for a replacement mainly because I didn't want this thing breaking like next year and them her blaming me .

All in all I is think the parts I used to replumb are fairly minimal and much more straight forward then beforePosted via Mobile Device

So that was a male-end valve? The water pattern is like on cracked male threads.

I'm thinking excavation time, too, but soil conditions make a difference in figuring a parts/labor balance. My tendency would be to dig less, and employ a union or two.

i think this is the major difference in the service industry. i try to instill in my techs to always dig a little more. mostly to make repairs easier and to have more room to work, but also to may be uncover a fitting just a little bit further down that would make the repair easier and stronger (ie. using an elbow instead of a slip fix)

I agree with this . Way easier to dig a little more when you canPosted via Mobile Device

Markup on sch 80 unions is verry nize

In a lot of situations I would do this . It's quick easy cheap for the client and saves me time because I never have time .

The plumbing was too bad for me to go meh oh well , particularly where the ml continues on after this manifold the pipe is so bent into the socket . It went to a manual drain so I removed itPosted via Mobile Device
